Token cost

What it costs to keep this loaded

Counted locally with the o200k_base tokenizer, which is exact for GPT models; Claude uses its own tokenizer and its counts differ. Treat this as one consistent yardstick across the catalogue rather than a bill. Prices are per million input tokens.

Security

Grade A, and why

pith-commit scanned grade A with 0 findings against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured 1mo ago.

A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.

Nothing flagged

None of the 26 patterns this scan looks for appear in this file: no shell pipes, no recursive deletes, no credential paths, no hidden text, no instruction-override or anti-refusal phrasing, no agent-config snooping. That is not a guarantee, it is the absence of the things that are checkable.

What it actually says

Conventional Commits. Subject ≤50 chars. Imperative mood.

type(scope): subject

Why: [reason, only when non-obvious from the diff]

Types

Type When
feat new capability
fix bug correction
refactor restructure without behavior change
perf measurable performance improvement
test add or fix tests only
docs documentation only
chore tooling, deps, config — no prod code
ci CI/CD pipeline changes
build build system changes

Rules

  • Subject: imperative. "add" not "added" or "adds". ≤50 chars. Hard limit.
  • Scope: component or file affected. Optional but preferred. Lowercase.
  • Body (Why:): only when the reason is non-obvious from subject + diff. Skip for trivial changes.
  • Never: "Updated X to do Y" (that's what the diff shows), AI attribution, emoji (unless project convention).
  • Breaking changes: add ! after type. feat(api)!: change response shape

Examples

Good:

fix(auth): correct token expiry unit comparison
Why: exp is Unix seconds, Date.now() is ms — check always evaluated false
feat(payments): add Stripe webhook signature verification
refactor(db): extract query builders into repository layer

Bad:

Fixed the authentication middleware to properly handle token expiration by comparing the values in the correct units so that users can actually log in now

One-shot. Does not persist.

Changes

What this file has done since we first saw it

Hashed on every crawl. A supply-chain change to an agent config is a question of when, not whether, so the history is kept rather than the latest state alone.
